It really all depends on the type of electric fence you get. Electric fences can put out a shock ranging from uncomfortable to lethal. Ones that you would typically use for your backyard or farm property put off enough shock to scare off unwanted people and animals without harming them. Other fences used in high security prisons, for example, can be deadly.

The strength of the shock carried in an electric fence can vary depending on the voltage setting. Generally, the shock is strong enough to deter animals or humans from making contact with the fence, but not strong enough to cause harm. It is designed to be safe and deliver a temporary, uncomfortable sensation.

The shock is nowhere near strong enough to harm them...but they do get the message that the fence should not be crossed. Electric fences probably don't work with birds. Anything contacting the fence must also be grounded (in contact with the ground) to get a shock. A bird perching on an electric wire shouldn't get a shock.
